Abstract

This paper aims at investigating and comparing the construction of Chinese president’s State visit to Spain in November 2018 in the press of the each country taking as corpuses the journalistic discourses concerning the visit published by the Chinese newspaper People´s Daily and the Spanish dairy El País. We try to reveal the application of the square ideological in the discourses, as well as to conclude the different hidden ideologies by means of Teun van Dijk´s proposal of ideological analysis. As a result, we find that People´s Daily is characterized by highlighting the great potential of bilateral relations and the contribution that China has made to promote them; while El País, besides showing its confidence about the future relations between China and Spain, questions the political intentions with which China carries out international cooperation.
